So this weekend is dedicated to levelling my arms warrior with my roommate's enhancement shaman. We decided to run a few instances to break up the monotony of questing.

Mogu'shan Palace - Unholy DK who thinks that being in blood presence is good enough to pull whole rooms, and then repeatedly trying to get the healer kicked for "dumb heals" because the healer opted to heal us instead of him. We finally were able to kick the DK instead. The best part of his gear was his Heart of Solace.

Gate of the Setting Sun - As we approach the 2nd boss, we see the three roasted panda corpses drop. To which I comment, "Mmm, roasted panda," and promptly get a "fuck you" from our monk. But I can ignore that. This monk is doing an amazing 12k dps. He dies on said 2nd boss. We get to the Commander, and wipe after wipe after wipe after wipe. We (roommate and I) are explaining that you need to zigzag the boss up the ramp with such a melee heavy group, after a few wipes of "randomly run around everywhere every which way" - but the tank is listening. Monk dies several times to Frenzied Assault. After our last wipe (we wound up having 2 healers because the monk declared he would heal too), while we're waiting, the monk dies...to fire. Literally, he stood in a firebomb until he died. Raigonn kills the monk and the healer - apparently, I'm the only one who knows to kite Raigonn (shaman didn't get targeted). Best part of the tank's gear was his Porcelain Crab and his Leaden Despair - we won't discuss the spirit and intellect enchants on his gear. The monk's best part of his gear was his Ghost Iron Dragonling.

"Hey, <shaman>, want to know what his cogwheels are?"

"Suuuurrreeee..." he replied, with that tone of despair that always provides giggles to the mischief maker.

"So would I!"

Yes, no cogwheels at all.

You fucking bastard that drive at late night1) while drunk, thus randomly wandering from left to right2) with broken positional and / or front light3) with strong lights always turned onand thus almost causing me to crash on you, I wish you step on a undiscovered landmine from 2nd world war, and survive, but lose both arms and both legs and be condamned to a whole life as a vegetable.

Never got through FFXIII. I'm certainly going to revisit it at some point, but something put me off. Not sure if it was the (imo) awful English voice acting, or the combat system. I wish FF games would come with an option for original Japanese audio and English subs.

"Ask stupid questions. Growth is fuelled by desire and innocence. Assess the answer,not the question. Imagine learning throughout your life at the rate of an infant."

Currently replaying FFXIII trying to complete it this time (I spent too little time free roaming last playthrough - as usual). The only thing I tend to find a little annoying is the amount of cut scenes. I like tyhe cutscenes, I like the story, but it seems like there is a little too much exposition or rather that it happens a little too often.

Also the "main character KO'ed = game over" annoys me, I'm used to having a healer ready to pick up someone - also being able to actually feel that I'm the one doing the damage, rather than the AI.Oh and the fact that "Auto" is supposed to be the correct way to go 99% of the time.
